What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Building confidence from scratch appears throughout accounts of this Binley-based motorcycle training provider, with several riders describing complete inexperience turning into a calm CBT pass on the same day. Wayne is named repeatedly for a teaching style that stays patient and friendly even when a learner struggles, while Andi and Sam also receive praise for keeping sessions relaxed and free of pressure.

Phil and Steve are credited with clear, direct guidance during Mod 1 and Mod 2 preparation at the Allard Way site, with one account noting a first-time pass across both modules. A point raised more than once is CBT delivered over two days, giving riders time to settle skills learned on day one before progressing to road riding, with individual feedback offered at each stage. Administrative help is also mentioned, including BiBi securing a cancellation test at short notice.

Existing licence holders returning for CBT renewal are catered for alongside newcomers, and instructors are frequently described as adding encouragement and humour that eases nerves throughout the day. One rider recalls an instructor reacting calmly to an unexpected incident on the road, offering clear direction until the situation was resolved, with training based at Copsewood Sports and Social Club in Binley.

Took my CBT at Riders Coventry with Wayne. He's an awesome instructor, made it easy to understand and was really supportive. Overall and a fun day out, and a licence at the end to boot. Thanks Wayne!

I completed my CBT today with Wayne and could not have asked for a better instructor. Friendly, welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and supportive. As a completely new rider, Wayne was sure to explain things in full and provide extra support and advice when I needed it. Despite the terrible weather, I’ve had an extremely enjoyable day and I am excited to begin my biking journey. Enormous thanks to Wayne!!

Completed my CBT at Riders after fantastic instruction and training from both Wayne and Phil. The pacing of the training was excellent, with clear and direct instructions and guidance every step of the way. The trainers are great at providing individual feedback, which continues in the final section (on the road) to keep you safe, boost your confidence, and to bring together all that you have learnt. They'll also provide you with a lot of laughs for a thoroughly enjoyable day. And a final note to mention just how friendly, approachable, and easy-going the guys are; they'll see you through your training comfortably and you'll have fun while you do it (and a special shout out to Wayne who saw me through my road ride with fantastic instruction and put my nerves at ease). I would highly recommend Riders to anyone interested in hopping on a bike!

Just done my CBT with Wayne @ Riders Coventry. Woah. Is all I can say. Such a calm, fun experience that was super informative. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before so I was super nervous, but I’m now sat here with tons of support and a CBT pass in my hand. Thanks Riders Coventry. Can’t wait for my DAS. ❤️

Over all I am quite happy with Riders. I did both my Mod1 and Mod2 with Steve. He is a kind guy and a knowledgeable instructor. The bikes we have used were ok, but some of them could have been in a better shape. Also I felt a little left alone when my first Mod1 test appointment was cancelled by DVSA in very last minute, due to some problems with the examiner. I know that it was a very rare and unfortunate thing to happen and that it had nothing to do with the riding school, but I didn't feel the support and the assurance that they are going to sort it out during the days whilst I was waiting for the outcome. Eventually I did not have to pay any extra money for the new appointments, but I've lost another day of work, which has never been compensated by DVSA. Again this had nothing to do with Steve, who was great, but it made the whole process a bit more stressful than it should have been.
